That is some serious perseverance!


I suspect quitting never crossed your mind. I don't know how much info they collect on today's students. Do they ask them prior if they are worried about quitting (not failing)? I bet the majority of the voluntary drops would have answered yes. I have yet to meet an SF man who thought he might quit. Which always kills me when I hear someone say they trained for x amount of time but just wasn't mentally prepared.
